Alyosha performed in the semi-finals of Eurovision 2023 to the sound of an air-raid alarm. Photo and video

The famous Ukrainian singer Alyosha performed in the first semi-final of Eurovision 2023 in Liverpool. She was accompanied on stage by her British colleague Rebecca Ferguson. As a duet, they performed the song "Ordinary World" by the cult British pop-rock band Duran Duran, and the song was dedicated to the war in Ukraine.

Thus, the performance was a performance that told about the Ukrainian women and children who were forced to leave their homes because of the full-scale invasion. OBOZREVATEL became aware of this while watching the live broadcast.

And Alyosha herself, as we know, now lives away from home with her three children, as she is afraid to put the little ones in danger.

The number was called "Laskavo posimo do us dodomu". When the Ukrainian artist came on stage, there was the sound of an air-raid alarm in the hall. The siren went silent, and Alyosha began to sing.

Meanwhile, behind her, huge screens showed messages from Ukrainian women who are scattered all over the world and dream of returning home as soon as possible.

The performance of the Ukrainian and British woman was greeted with applause.
